If your architect is designing a small room, you should ask him to include large windows that will allow plenty of light into the room.
Go green

Play with patterns
Here you need to mix patterns in order to make your space appear elegant and comfortable to live. This trick is ideal if your apartment is large.
You should also use different colors. For example, you can use brown for the floor, green for the tables, red for the chairs and white for the walls. For ideal results you should use big swaths of solid color to anchor the space. For example, you can use red chairs to anchor the space.
Accessorize the room
